Inspired by the soft rounded profiles which define
seventies and eighties wall decor, the Rosa Collection
is transitional in design, working beautifully with both
classic and contemporary framing styles.
With its feminine rounded profile, its contrasting
curves create depth with light and shade. Hand made
in Italy by skilled artisans, the Rosa’s gold and silver
leafing process involves a staggering fifteen separate
hand passages, gradually overlapping layers to
achieve the final colour and timeless effect.
The antique black features a matte finish with subtle
red undertones, and is aged by hand using natural
wax and coloured powders.
The Rosa Collection uses environmentally friendly
timber and solvent free water-based colours, making
it ideal for conservation framing.
Available in 3 profiles and 3 timeless colours; Gold,
Champagne and Antique Black.
